What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, QTP posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — profit is at an all-time high. The point still to be proven is whether this new profit level can hold once the low-base effect fades.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 11.2% = 5.0% × 1.66 × 1.34
2026Q1 19.7% = 10.1% × 1.49 × 1.31

ROE rose from 11.2% to 19.7% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 10.1% +5.1pp Asset turnover: 1.49x -0.17x Leverage: 1.31x -0.03x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 10.14%, rising 5.1pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 7.6pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.1pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.2pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 0.0pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

For utilities, ROIC reflects returns on a large fixed-asset base — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside regulated tariffs.

Balance Sheet

ROIC for utilities reflects a large fixed-asset base and regulated tariffs — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.31x equity, net debt at 0.00x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 183.5bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −108.7bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +189.6bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +102.6bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 13.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 5.3 days, DSO rose 14.3 days, and DPO rose 6.6 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.

For utilities, working capital cycle reflects regulated pricing mechanics and long-term settlement contracts — DSO/DIO/DPO should be treated as contextual signals rather than pure efficiency indicators.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 93.5 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +14.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Leverage for utilities reflects long-term capital needs for fixed assets and recovery through regulated pricing — elevated leverage is structural to the industry.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 1,705.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -935.5bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +769.7bn. Financing cash flow was negative +732.6bn.

CFO / net income was 1.55x.

After spending +9.8bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +1,659.1bn.

For utilities, high capex and long investment cycles are structural — short-term FCF volatility does not reflect long-term cash generation through regulated pricing.

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 5.1 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 10.14% after expanding 5.1pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
